Distinguished Schools

California Distinguished School is an award given by the California State Board of Education the to public schools within the state that best represent exemplary and quality educational programs. Approximately five percent of California schools are awarded this honor each year following a rigorous selection process. Eligibility is based on federal and state criteria including the No Children Left Behind Program, Academic Performance Index (API), and Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). The program was established in 1985 and alternates each year between elementary (even years) and secondary (odd years).  The award is valid for four years.
